Monica Crowley: Is Bill Clinton in the FBI crosshairs too?
2016-02-04
[Wash Times] In the unfolding political and legal drama surrounding Hillary Clinton and her private server, one name has been conspicuously missing.

Bill Clinton.

There has been scant mention of the former president's possible role and potential exposure in the server/classified material controversy, which now represents an existential threat to Mrs. Clinton's presidential ambitions. But perhaps his role may be more central that we've been led to believe.

Rather than simply focusing on Mrs. Clinton's actions as secretary of state, the FBI investigation may be proceeding along two tracks: his and hers. So far, two areas of focus have been mentioned.

One is the possible abuse of highly sensitive information by Mrs. Clinton through her use of a private, unsecured server. The other involves possible violations of public corruption law: whether she and Mr. Clinton used her position as secretary of state to further the interests of the Clinton Foundation. When these two apparently separate tracks are looked at conjointly, two major questions arise concerning Mr. Clinton.

First, did Mr. Clinton, in fact, own, pay for and house on his property the server used by Mrs. Clinton while she was secretary of state? And second, did he touch, read, see and/or use any of the classified documents that appeared on that server, and if so, did he have the appropriate clearances and approval?

#5  With every regurgitated pseudo news report, the media is further distancing the likelihood of any jury. There will be no unexposed juror pool from which to select.

#4  Nguard, Funny, I feel good about it. For the sake of the republic I'd like some justice to show nobody is to big to jail and send a message to anyone thinking of following in their footsteps.

I do feel sick that I think they'll skate somehow.

#3  whether she and Mr. Clinton used her position as secretary of state to further the interests of the Clinton Foundation.

Similar to her communications security violations, somehow I believe we've transitioned from a question to a statement of fact, but I suppose that would be the work of a jury to decide.

#1  This whole situation can be summed up in two words: Dumpster Fire.

I was one of those bitter types that was furious that B & H seemed to get away with it.

Seeing them finally get something vaguely resembling justice at last leaves me feeling hollow. Death by a thousand leaks in public, and the spectacle of B being the first former president to be brought up on charges... I don't know how I feel.
